It was a Saturday night, just like any other. Like many of my plans, it started with a text to my friend asking if she wanted to go to an event. A listening party for a new album releasing the next week was being held, but the catch was: we didn’t really know the artist.

Come to the Holton Center Today!
Oliver Keddell | Staff Writer
The Holton Center is a space that is home to many groups on campus, but many people don’t even know it exists. In order to change this, I reached out to four people to ask them three questions:
“Why should students outside designated groups still come to the Holton Center?”
“What is your favorite part about the Holton Center?”
And finally, “What are the best events put on by the Holton Center?”

I lived in Brazil my whole life before coming to the United States for college. I was never very patriotic, and I didn’t truly understand what it meant to be Latina as a personal identity. Society expects us to fit into a box of characteristics and cultural manners that we often do not. I left Brazil feeling extremely sad and lost because I felt I knew nothing about my own social and cultural identity. I wanted to share my culture and country with others, but I didn’t feel I knew them myself.

Like many of us, on Wednesday, Feb. 4 I heard fire trucks. As I left the library I saw that P6 was full of fire trucks, police cars and that smoke was coming from the facilities garage. While there, I saw my friends and we were all talking about what was happening and also catching up, all while watching the firefighters hacked their way into the garage.

Like many college students, I have a busy schedule. From classes to work to studying to events on campus, it feels like a lot. Even sitting down to write this article, I was panicking. Not because I didn’t have time to write it, but because I didn’t have enough time to study in my schedule.

The mascot of St. Norbert College is the Green Knight. Arguably, that is a strange character. Those who are fans of medieval literature might recall the fascinating story about the Green Knight’s encounter with the Round Table, described in the poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.

Why Doksany Hall is Very Much Haunted
Abigail Walton | Staff Writer
Doksany Hall is located right next to Hugh Hall, and just by looking at this building, I can tell it is very much haunted. A nun convent in the 1960s now turned into an all girls dorm, Doksany Hall houses 15 girls, and every step you take there is paired with some sort of creaking noise.

Wanting to do more with the club members’ talents, Walton approached the president of Knight Theatre, Sam Czekala (‘26) and proposed an idea. Walton wanted to do a collaboration.
